The most troubling aspect of working in the White House for Mr. Gorka was that no one was interested in even discussing the President’s agenda.

“If you ask me kind of what the big take home is from working at that kind of level inside the government, the most disturbing thing I found is not just the lack of commitment to the president’s vision from political appointees that came in to serve the president as commissioned officers or as cabinet members,” he said.

“The real moment when the scales fell from my eyes is when after I’d been to numerous National Security Council meetings—I wasn’t a member of the NSC but I was invited to various key meetings—and you sit there for an hour, or an hour and half listening as you go around to the various outstations, State, CIA, DIA, the Pentagon, all the arms of the interagency.

“And you listen for an hour, or an hour and half, and nobody, not one participant would mention the president, or what the president said, or what the president’s mission was.”

He continually had to remind the participants what the President wanted. These officials are supposed to serve, not take over, no matter how benevolent their motives.

Gorka continued: “I don’t like the phrase Deep State, but there is definitely a permanent state that in far too many instances believes that they represent the American people when they were never elected to office and when they actually serve the White House and not the other way around.”

The mission he had upon entering the White House was to deal with the very serious threat of radical jihadism, including that of Iran; declaring the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization; dealing with Arab pressured in Qatar; and addressing China’s massive theft of intellectual property of U.S. companies.

The bureaucrats in the White House are fiercely fighting those efforts

When he left, the President told Gorka he will “stick to his agenda” and Gorka promised to support the President.

The problem is H.R. McMaster is still in place along with all of Obama’s holdovers. It’s hard to understand why Gary Cohn and Rex Tillerson are still in their positions. Both have betrayed him in public and Tillers is not following the President’s agenda.

Former UN ambassador John Bolton, who used to visit the White House regularly, is no longer allowed to see the President. Bolton has taken to media to write articles about why we must not continue to certify the Iran deal, in the hope that the President will see them.

John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Mitch McConnell, to some degree Paul Ryan, are not working to follow the President’s agenda. They are putting roadblocks in the way of healthcare repeal, a wall, tax reform, funding Planned Parenthood, cutting government and putting forth a budget.

There is also a troubling report that 30,000 more soldiers might be sent to Afghanistan.

The tide likely won’t turn. The employees have taken over the government.

The conclusion Has to be drawn; when we vote we are merely electing a “puppet President” and nothing more.

This has to be of great concern because this violates every principle of this country. How many wars and conflicts arise simply from misinformation, or even disinformation coordinated by these people. The revolving door between bureaucrats and industry is widespread. Note Comey’s venture into Lockheed and receiving millions for it.

Unfortunately I do Not believe bureaucrats really have the best interests of America at their core. One person who left the CIA came to the realization that what colleges have produced is a far leftist agenda and the Government has been employing these people. They have No loyalty to this country or even love for it. This is a ‘cancer’ on the fabric of society and it is spreading and is no longer benign.
